Alright, horror nuts! Time to show us what you've got! Keeping this one short and sweet.
You are challenged to write a 2 to 6-page horror script set during Halloween. The story must end with a shock, whether that be a twist, a cliffhanger, or something else entirely.
The screenplay must be properly formatted and in PDF format. The scripts are due on Friday, October 20th at 11:59 PM EST.
One script per writer, and the writers must remain anonymous until the challenge is over. Remember not to put your name on the title page. Submit your screenplay to https://www.simplyscripts.com/owc
Your script does not have to be strictly horror. Horror-Comedy, Horror-Comedy, Horror-Action, etc... Just as long as the horror is at the forefront.
Participants are strongly encouraged to read and comment/review the other scripts submitted.
ONLY SIX PAGES!!! That is quite a challenge. I actually HAVE a script set during Halloween time, and no its not the Halloween Michael Myers fan script I recently had submitted here but an original work. But you want six pages, so I can't really use that one unless I trim off the rest of the story since the prologue can work as a short story. But that still leaves twenty pages, not gonna be easy to condense that into six. I don't have any good ideas to conjure in such a short Halloween story that could win a contest here, so I might have to sit this one out.
If I'm even able to. The week time is not the issue since I've written whole standard-length scripts in that time and even a bit less, but for now no good Halloween story is sitting with me to create that could adjust to such a short length. Kudos to those that are able to do this though.
The strike is over, and I'm writing again, so I finally feel comfortable participating. It's all a matter of juggling everything. I was just informed yesterday (Thursday) that I needed to start putting together a Christmas list. I'll see what I can come up with (on both counts).

Time to start flexing those writing muscles! Been way too long since I've read some of your work.
